WINDOW-FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent;

Patented Dec. 12, 1905.

Application filed June 10, 1905. Serial No. 264,627.

' the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inwindow-fixtures; and the primary object of the invention is to provide novel and effective means for conveniently supporting both the shades and ourtains from the same supporting structure attached to the window-frame.

Briefly described, the invention comprises supporting members which are attached to the window-frame and which are peculiarly constructed to receive adjustable supporting-brackets for the shade-roller, the supporting members also having curtain-supporting brackets attached thereto. The supporting members may be attached to the window-frame in any desired manner, as by screws or nails, and owing to their nature they may be used in lieu of the plinth-blocks of a window-frame.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a window with my improved fixture thereon. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of one of my improved fixtures with the curtain-supporting bracket removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view thereof. Fig. 4 is a detached view,'in side elevation, of the curtain-supporting bracket; and Fig. 5 is a similar view of the shade-supporting bracket.

' The su porting member for the curtainpole and or the shade-pole is made up of two plates 1 and 2, superposed one on the other, and which lates are adapted to be attached to the win ow-frame, as by screws or nails or any other suitable means. The plate 1,

which is the underneath plate, is provided near its lower edge with a groove 3, and the plate 2 is divided into two sections, the uper wider section having its lower edge overying the groove 3 to some extent and the lower narrower section of the support proj ecting upwardly and overlying the groove 3 to some extent. The space between the adjacent ends of these two sections of the plate 2, together with the groove 3, consequently form a substantially T-shaped groove, and

this T-shaped groove receives a T-shaped head 4, formed on the inner end of the shadesupporting bracket 5. The shade-supporting bracket at one side of the window of course, as usual, will be formed with an 0 ening to receive the pintle of the shade-r0 ler, and the other shade-bracket will be formed with a notch, as is the usual construction for the two shade-brackets. All of this construction, however, is otherwise identical in construction, each having a depending lug 6,.

provided with a threaded aperture to receive a set-screw 7, that takes into the lower strip of the plate 2 and firmly securing the shadebracket in the adjusted position. A plate 2 is further provided with recesses or seats 8, in which is received the angular ends 9 of the curtain-supporting bracket 10, these angular ends being secured in the seats by screws, nails, or other suitable means.

By forming the plate 2 in two sections the manner of forming the T-shaped groove 3 is materially simplified and the cost of construction reduced to a minimum. The shade brackets may be adjusted in the groove of the supporting members and then secured in the adjusted position by the setscrews 7.

In the practice of the invention it will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit and scope of the invention.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Lettors-Patent, is

1. A window fixture comprising a supporting member embodying two plates superposed one on the other, the outer plate being formed in two sections spaced from each other and overlying a groove formed in the underneath plate ,brackets adj ustably mount- 2. A Window-fixture, comprising a sup- In testimony whereof I affiX my signature porting member embodying a plate having in the presence of two Witnesses. an underoutgroove, and a shade-supporting bracket having a T-shaped head working in 5 said groove and having a depending lug and Witnesses:

a set-screw passing through the lug of said O. T. CUSHING, 1 bracket and engaging said plate. WV. J. PARRISH.
